I wonder about Byrd's power though, I am wondering if it will suffer with the weight loss as well as his speed...Byrd never punched hard for a heavyweight but he SHOULD punch hard for a light heavyweight

I pick Byrd over both Sultan and Chagaev personally....I don' think Chris ever lost a fight he was not out gunned in...I don't really know what happened to him in the Povetkin fight....I did not see it....But look at the other guys he lost to..

Wlad twice and Ike...both massively stronger then he was...Ike outweighed him by like 35lbs and Klitschko is a monstor....so no shame in it....
